Samsung Galaxy S3 marks London debut

London, May 4 (ANI): The Samsung Galaxy S3, the latest of the Samsung's android tab phone range, launched globally from London's Earls Court arena.

The phone includes innovative new features such as eye tracking so that the screen stays on while a user is looking at it.

The S3 also features a 4.8" display, one of the largest on the market, and the ability to automatically initiate a call to a contact onscreen when the phone is held up to its user's face. Samsung has also added voice control, similar to Apple's 'personal assistant' Siri, and will offer 50GB of online storage via a partnership with Dropbox.com.

The Korean manufacturer claimed that the phone was "Inspired by nature, developed for humans" and has the power and capabilities "to not only take on the iPhone 4S but also the next iPhone as well."

Samsung is hoping the device will replicate the success of its predecessor, the SII, which has sold a total of 20million units and cement a lead over its rival, Apple.

It will be on sale in the UK by the end of May and will be free with contracts of 36 pounds per month. (ANI)
